NCT03911687 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗

Study Summary

There are patients who die or have a bad outcome in the hospital and this could be prevented. Data in the nurses' notes could be used by computers to tell the rest of the care team that a patient is not doing well and that they should act more quickly. This project will build and evaluate a computer system that makes it easier for the care team to see and understand that data and act quickly to save patients. The aims of this study is to answer the questions, what is the level of provider use of the CONCERN CDS notification system (called CONCERN SMARTapp) and resulting impact on selected patient outcomes? Specifically, the study has 1) validated desired thresholds for the CONCERN CDS system and 2) integrated the CONCERN CDS system for early warning of risky patient states within CDS tools. In this portion of the study (aim 3), the investigator will implement and evaluate the CONCERN CDS system on primary outcomes of in-hospital mortality and length of stay and secondary outcomes of cardiac arrest, unanticipated transfers to the intensive care unit, and 30-day hospital readmission rates.

What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT03911687

The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT03911687 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 60,893 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Columbia University, which has 875 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.

The record links to 1 condition, with Hospital Acquired Condition appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which CONCERN CDS system notification is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.

Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT03911687 reports 4 study locations spanning 2 distinct geographic areas — top geographies include Massachusetts, New York. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
